Application October 24, 1938, Serial No. 236,708 '1 Claim. (c1. sa -4'1)Calif.

These heating units extend through the rear of the lugs 3 and 4, and theelectrical conduit wires are attached to these heating units in theusual and well-known manner.

The prime object of our invention is to provide a novel steamsuper-heating means in an electric sadiron so that the ejected steam isdry and no drops of moisture can fall on the material which is beingpressed to spot or injure the same.

Still another object of our invention is to provide a novel constructionin a pressing sadiron, including an integrally formed sole plate andheating lugs..

Other objects, advantages and features of invention may appear from theaccompanying drawing,'the subjoined detailed description and theappended claim.

line 3-4 Figure 4 is a sectional view taken on line 4-4 of Figure 1.

Figure 5 is a sectional view taken on line 5-5 of Figure 2.

Figure 6 is a fragmentary sectional view taken on line 66 of Figure '1.

Figure 7 is a fragmentary bottom plan view of the sole plate.

Referring more particularly to the drawing. the numeral l indicates thebody of our sadiron, which includes a sole plate 2' and a pair oflongitudinally extending heating lugs 3, 4, which are spacedtransversely of the iron, substantially as shown in Figures 2 and 5. Thereason for spacing the lugs 3 and 4 is to enable the heating elements tomore quickly heat the sole plate and have greater efficiency, since asmaller mass oi metal above the sole plate must be heated. A cover plate5 is removably mounted on the body 9 in the usual and well-known manner,and this cover plate includes the usual handle 6, by means of which thesadiron is operated. A heating element 1, preferably ofthe cartridgetype and known as a "Calrod" heater in the trade, extends longitudlnallythrough the lugs 3 and l.

Steam is introduced into the iron through a pipe 8, and the flow ofsteam is controlled by a valve 9 of usual and well-known construction.The steam after entering through the pipe 8 passes into a substantiallyV-shaped super-heating duct Hi. This duct is drilled in the lugs 3, 4

and is adjacent the electrical heating unit 1.

Thus, the incoming steam is reheated or superheated to preventcondensation. After the steam traverses the duct Ill, it passesdownwardly at the rear of the iron through the passage ll, into thedistributingiduct l2. The duct I2 is drilled in the sole plate 2 and isarranged substantially in a V, as shown at l3, at the forward or pointend of the iron. A plurality of outlet ports M are drilled from thebottom face of the sole plate 2 into the distributing duct l2. Theseducts are drilled at an angle towards the inner portion of the soleplate so that steam is ejected inwardly and under thesole plate, therebymore effectively dampening the material'which is being pressed. Theports 14 are drilled into the V portion l3 of the distributing duct, sothat the rear portion of the sole plate then passes over the dampenedarea to more effectively press the material.

Having described our invention, we claim:

In an electrical sadiron comprising a body, said body including a soleplate and upstanding lugs integrally formed with the sole plate, andex-- tending longitudinally thereof, an electrical heating element ineach of the upstanding lugs, and extending longitudinally thereof, saidupstanding lugs having super heating ducts formed therein, the superheating ducts being arranged adjacent the heating elements and parallelthereto, said sole plate having a distributing duct arranged therein,means to supply one of said super heating ducts with steam, and conduitmeans to conduct the super heated steam to said distributing duct, saidsole plate having a plurality of outlet ports extending ther'ethroughinto the distributing duct.
